A compact five-track collaboration between the rhythm game series Frederic and Vocaloid producer Keina Suda, this 2021 mobile release is a meeting of two very different musical worlds. Keina Suda is known for emotionally charged, slightly off-kilter pop compositions in the Vocaloid scene, and tracks like "Veil" and "Oddloop" carry that signature blend of catchy melody and underlying unease.

"Answer" leads with purpose, a track that feels like it was written to be the definitive statement of the collaboration. "Tomoshi Beat" leans more into the rhythm game side of things, percussive and driving, built for tapping along on a phone screen.
"Regret" pulls in the opposite direction with something more introspective and melancholic, the kind of emotional counterweight that keeps a short tracklist from feeling one-note. Five songs, but each one distinct enough to justify the release.
The Frederic series has always had a knack for pulling in interesting musical talent, from Chopin-inspired classical to modern electronic producers, and the Keina Suda pairing fits right into that adventurous spirit. For fans of either the rhythm game franchise or Suda's Vocaloid catalog, this is a neat crossover moment.
